I’m always fascinated by other people’s workspaces. I’m not the only one. Plenty of posts and entire sites, even, have been devoted to this subject. You don’t have to look far on Tumblr, Pinterest, or Dribbble either.

I thought I’d share my own.

On the Wall

Behind my computer, I have a bulletin board for inspiration and mood boards. It’s made out of Soft Tiles, you know, the mats you put on the floor for kids to play on. We just hung it up on the wall with nails. Perfect.

Scanner

Also on the far left (you can see the edge of it), I have a Epson Perfection V100 Photo Scanner. It’s not the latest and greater scanner out there, but it’s more than perfect for what I use it for: scanning in textures, photos, and hand drawn illustrations — things that need to be scanned at a higher resolution.

For on the go, scanning, I’ve been really pleased with Evernote’s new app, Scannable.

Tablets

I have an iPad Mini. I was an early adopted and started out with a 3G iPad 1. Eventually, it started having issues where apps would randomly crash. I upgraded to a wireless iPad mini for Christmas. I love the smaller size. I use it for reading (and testing websites), so the smaller size makes complete sense.

They’re connected to my laptop via a TripleHead2Go. (I wrote a post about the configuration.) I can keep the laptop open, and run in a T configuration, but lately, I’ve enjoyed keeping my laptop in clamshell mode. For whatever reason, I feel more productive instead of trying to manage more space.

MacBook Pro

I have a 15” MacBook Pro (Retina), 2.6 GHz Intel Core i7, 16GB of Memory, with a 1TB Solid State drive. It’s been a great machine. It’s the 3rd Mac Laptop I’ve owned in the last 11 years. I ran its predecessor into the ground.

Even though I know I need the real estate and power for print projects…and I can’t imagine trying to run Chrome Inspector tools on a smaller screen, I still eye the Air. I can’t get over how small and light it is!

I have a wireless keyboard and trackpad. I try to get away with as few wires as possible. The track pad and I have a love hate relationship, so I’ll still pull out my Magic Mouse (It’s not the track pad’s fault, it’s all me. I’m just old school like that.)

Desk

My desk is an Ikea desk top (hollow) with Vika Fagerlid legs (apparently, they don’t sell them anymore).
